After Jenny Ball had performed Simon Cowell made it very clear that he did not think she was good enough for the competition.

He told her: “Jenny, there was a girl who got a no earlier on who was very similar to you called Nicole, and if I had to choose between you and Nicole I would have chosen Nicole based on tonight, so if she got a no and you got a yes, that would be crazy in my opinion.”

However Sharon didn’t agree, and told her: “I like you I connect with you, I am gonna give you a chair, I am gonna ask seat number five.”

This meant she popular contestant Shanaya Atkinson-Jones was getting the boot and Simon was furious.

Banging his hands on the desk he yelled: “What?!” and then exclaimed. “Bloody hell.”

Louis Walsh was speechless, while a dumbfounded Nicole simply said, “I cannot believe she did that.”

However Jenny’s success was short lived as she was soon replaced by Deanna Mussington who had travelled from the Caribbean to compete.

The drama was ramped up a notch when Sharon later decided to give quirky Grace Davies a seat and kicked out the hugely popular and talented Alisah Bonaobra – who had begged judges to give her a second chance at Bootcamp.
